I'd say turn them around when the chair manufacturer says. Wife and I had the same argument, both times, and it came down to activity, both of them wanted to see where we were going.
Facing backwards is safest, but if the child is actively trying to change their seating position then it is probably time to change the seat around.
We stopped putting our youngest (21 months) in backwards when he was 12 months old. Getting him into the seat facing backwards by that point was like putting a very grumpy, fat, pink, upside down banana in a seat from the angle he had to be in to get over the support straps.
Turned the seat around, had the quietest car trip ever, because he was so amused watching the things go swooshing by outside.
You have taken the biggest child car safety step, you have a car seat full stop :-)

I finally bought something!
And I bought lots :D
4x of these babys (1 of them is already working on my NAS)
New router for better wireless. Hopefully it will eliminate that fucking annoying AirPlay lag between the phone and the stereo
And another WAP, so I can have full signal anywhere in the house except the toilet (because I guess the toilet is a faraday cage or something)

3g Phones and ADSL went out on 26 for nearly 26 hours. Went out again on Sunday night, and stayed out until about 1pm on the 29th. I never worried about ours too much, we had working landlines even if it was flakier after 1pm on the 29th.
Had a couple of Optus people that wouldn't shut up about the fact they still had coverage.
Had to remind them that they only had coverage because Optus finally got off their ass and ran a fiber up to Rocky. Had it been a year earlier they would have been fucked too.

See that picture? I have one of those Megadrives sitting in my cupboard right now, not working. Oh how i wish i could figure out what is wrong and bring it back to life. That and the 30 odd games i have for it.
One day.......

I was planning to write this post from the machine in question, but it just crashes IE every time I try and get to the forums. Surprisingly it loads the front page (badly, there is about 10 pages of space before the content)
Thanks guys, now I guess I'll have to cancel that order for the Turtle Beach ones I have at Hardly Normal :D
Did anyone sense some Steve Ballmer in there? I was going for a cross between him and 'but wait there's more!'
